Bricriu the Venomous was a trouble-maker he was always
trying to incite rivalry and discord among the warriors of Ulster. None
liked him very much and they all tried their best to avoid running into
him. He threw a famous feast which he was a year in preparing for and
invited all the warriors of Ulster to it but he caused a big fightby
promising the curadhmhír the 'champions portion' to three separate men
namely Conall
the Victorious, Laeghaire
Battle-Winner and Cúchulainn.

He goes down to Cruachan in Connaught to the rest of the
Ulster exiles after all his property is stolen from him and Fergus
Mac Roich takes pity on him and gives him a position.
